Even while trapped in Europe’s deadly summer sweatbox, two guilt-ridden New York Times reporters fretted about the modern-day life-saver of air-conditioning, issuing a snotty, dismissive story, “Europe’s Deadly Heat Wave: A Jolt for Climate Action, or Just for A.C.?” [some emphasis, links added]
Even the byline had a touch of heatstroke by Times’ standards: “Michael D. Shear reported from London. Jeanna Smialek from Brussels. Both places were very hot.”
The story nudged the sweating Euro-populace to keep favoring hypothetical reductions in average global temperatures over decades, against the urgent, deadly problem of the summer heatwave, misery exacerbated by Europe’s stubborn refusal to embrace the modern era of air conditioning (perhaps not wanting to be like those soft, spoiled energy-wasting Americans).
Of course, left-wing European politicians ideologically opposed to air conditioning don’t have to swelter like the commoners several floors below them.
